Impressive ticket sales, administrative reorganisations and a lot of support from sponsors, collaborators, locals and volunteers ensures a record year in 2009 for Aarhus Festival.

The head of administration of Aarhus Festival, Anders Dahlstrup, says about the record accounts:
- Quality is the key word for everything that we do in Aarhus Festival – and quality pays. We have focused on the exceptional, been at the cutting edge, and created a well-attended cultural festival that is ready for the future.
